    • A dominant group is the group with the most influence within a society, even though it may not always be the largest group.
    • Minority groups are distinguished by physical or cultural characteristics that separate them from the dominant group.
    • Cultural assimilation or acculturation is the process where a minority group loses its original cultural characteristics when living within a dominant group and adopts characteristics of the dominant culture.
    • Immigrants often assimilate as they integrate into a new dominant culture by attending schools, learning the language and getting jobs within the new culture.
    • Mutual cultural assimilation, where both groups exchange traits, also occurs.

    Cultural Diversity - Ethnicity

    • Members of an ethnic group generally share unique cultural and social beliefs, behaviors, language, religious practices, and interests.

    Cultural Influences on Healthcare

    • Turkey is a multicultural, multiethnic, and multiracial society.

    • What might seem reasonable or important to a patient might seem ridiculous or irrelevant to a nurse.
    • Nonverbal signals can reveal a patient's pain experience.

    Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Physiologic Variations

    • Varying studies show that certain racial and ethnic groups are predisposed to specific conditions and diseases.
    • This knowledge of individual risk factors is essential when interviewing a patient's medical history.

    Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Reactions to Pain

    • Some cultures openly express emotions associated with pain, while others do not.
    • Nurses often assume that patients not complaining of pain are not in pain.
    • Patients who quietly experience pain might not receive the necessary pain-reduction treatment.
    • Nonverbal cues can be helpful to identify a patient's level of pain.

    Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Mental Health

    • Many ethnic groups have different norms for psychological well-being and reactions to certain situations.
    • Cultural norms around disclosure of mental health issues may affect willingness to seek help from healthcare providers in certain communities.
    • A given perspective based on the cultural view of mental health struggles, might view mental illness in a certain way, possibly causing stigma.

    • Nurses should be mindful of cultural norms surrounding personal space, especially when providing physical contact.

    Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Food and Nutrition

    • Food preferences and preparation methods are often related to cultural backgrounds.
    • In healthcare settings, patients may not always have a choice of food, negatively affecting nutrition.

    Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Family Support

    • Large and extended families are common in many cultures, which makes it important to involve them in care plans.
    • Some cultures may not share private information or not want to be involved with out-of-family healthcare providers.

    Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Socioeconomic Factors
